Letter to Unitholders
.
.
Over the last two decades, Brookfield Renewable has become one of the premier, global, renewable energycompanies. We have close to $50 billion of renewable assets, a $16 billion market capitalization (includingour recently announced merger with TerraForm Power) and a 20-year track record of stable and growingdividends delivering a 17% compounded annual return to unitholders. 
As a special advantage in this “greening world”, our business avoids over 28 million tonnes of CO2 annuallyand this number continues to grow each year. As the world transitions to renewable energy and looks toreduce CO2 consumption, we believe we are one of the entities of scale, with the track record and globalcapabilities  to  deliver  investors  a  resilient,  stable  distribution  plus  meaningful  growth  through  all  marketcycles. As always, our objective remains the same - deliver 12-15% total returns, on a per-unit basis, overthe long-term.
We are currently in the midst of an unprecedented global health and financial crisis. In spite of the significantmarket volatility and a potentially deep recession, our operations remain resilient, our earnings are expectedto be stable, and our financial position, which allows us to pursue growth, is in excellent shape.
First, as it relates to our operations, we are fortunate to benefit from a depth of technical and commercialexpertise within the business from our approximately 3,000 colleagues around the world who manage ourfacilities at the highest standards, every day. Their expertise, dedication and hard work have been criticalto our success for many years, but it is times like this, where their speed of decision-making, prudent riskmanagement  and  ability  to  be  flexible  in  light  of  unique  working  conditions,  is  both  deeply  evident  andtremendously valuable.
Our business produces and delivers clean, renewable energy to over 600 customers around the world underlong-term power purchase agreements. Over the years, we have focused on ensuring those agreementswere  both  long-term  and  backed  by  creditworthy  counterparties. Accordingly,  the  revenue  profile  of  ourbusiness is very stable and diversified. More importantly, we believe the demand for renewable energy willcontinue to grow, perhaps at an even faster pace, as countries look to protect themselves from exogenousrisks such as we are experiencing today.
From  a  financial  perspective,  we  continue  to  capitalize  the  business  utilizing  a  strong  investment  gradebalance sheet and long duration non-recourse debt, while maintaining high levels of liquidity (over $3 billioncurrently) as a cushion against unexpected events. This ensures that we maintain a low risk financial profile.Accordingly, in the last two months, we raised over $1 billion of attractive asset level and corporate greenfinancings. This includes $560 million of ten-year asset level financing at one of our hydro facilities in theUnited States with an all-in coupon of 4% and an additional approximately C$350 million of ten-year corporatebonds in Canada, at approximately 3.5%. We have operated the business this way for many years, alwaysprioritizing financial strength and flexibility. We recognize that this can often get overlooked as part of investors'risk-reward equation, in particular during expansionary periods; however, we believe it is critical to our long-term success, and over time, contributes meaningfully to the compounding of our cash flows and the totalreturns delivered by our units.  
In spite of the significant market turmoil, we continue to focus on building the business for the future. Werecently agreed to merge our subsidiary, Terraform Power ("TERP"), into Brookfield Renewable, on an allstock basis
1. The merger will simplify our structure, diversify our holdings, and strengthen our business in
North America and Europe. It will increase our public float of shares by approximately $1.5 billion and willfacilitate the issuance of Brookfield Renewable Corporation ("BEPC") shares, which should help currentshareholders who may prefer to hold a C-Corp share and potentially attract new shareholders. In addition,we have continued to advance our healthy M&A and development pipeline, which remains on track to deliverinvestment opportunities of $700-800 million of net equity in 2020, in-line with our targets.  
1The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the non-waivable approval of TERP shareholders representing amajority of the outstanding shares of TERP Class A common stock not owned by Brookfield Renewable and its affiliates.

Results from Operations
During the first quarter, we generated FFO of $217 million, or $0.70 per unit, reflecting solid performance,as our operations benefited from strong underlying asset availability and resource, and growth and efficiencyinitiatives. On a normalized basis, our results are up 5% over last year.
Our  business  continues  to  benefit  from  our  growing  and  diverse  generation  portfolio,  limited  off-takerconcentration risk, and a strong contract profile. During the quarter, overall generation was slightly aheadof long-term average as we continue to benefit from the diversity of our fleet. Our focus over the last decadehas been to diversify the business which, over the long-term, mitigates exposure to water, wind and sun,regional or market disruptions, and potential credit events. 
For example, with over 600 counterparties, we have a diversified high-quality customer base comprisedprimarily of public power authorities and utilities that is insulated from single counterparty risk. Our singlelargest  non-government  third-party  customer  represents  2%  of  generation,  providing  strong  downsideprotection and safeguarding our cash flows. Furthermore, our cash flows are long duration, with a weighted-average remaining contract length of 14 years. The portfolio is largely contracted, with 95% of total generationcontracted in 2020, meaning our business does not have meaningful exposure to short-term price declinesfrom slowing economic activity or lower power demand. 
During the quarter, our hydroelectric segment delivered FFO of $222 million. Our storage segment performedparticularly well, generating $6 million of FFO in the quarter. Our focus in Latin America continues to beextending the average duration of our power purchase agreements where power price volatility providesopportunities to enhance and stabilize future revenues. In this regard, we signed 17 contracts in the quarterwith high-quality, creditworthy counterparties for a total of 312 gigawatt-hours per year. As a result, todayour contract profile stands at 9 years and 3 years in Brazil and Colombia, respectively. 
In North America, where power prices remain low, we are focused on securing shorter term contracts at ourhydroelectric facilities to ensure we retain upside optionality for when we believe prices will improve. Acrossour hydroelectric fleet in North America, starting next year, we have three contracts rolling off for assets thatprimarily deliver power to markets in the U.S. northeast. Fortunately, these contracts, on a net basis, deliverpower at prices in the range of the current market. Therefore, on renewal, we expect minimal impact to ouroverall revenue. Beyond these contracts, we do not have any material PPA maturities in North America until2029. 
Our wind and solar segments generated a combined $62 million of FFO, as we continue to generate stablerevenues from these assets and benefit from the diversification of our fleet and highly contracted cash flowswith  long  duration  power  purchase  agreements.  We  also  continue  to  execute  on  opportunistic  O&Moutsourcing agreements aimed at de-risking our portfolios and, where appropriate, delivering cost savings.We  are  in  the  process  of  implementing  four  such  agreements  across  our  portfolio,  all  of  which  provideattractive availability guarantees and a more comprehensive scope than what is currently in place.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Our liquidity position remains robust, with over $3 billion of total available liquidity. During the quarter, webolstered  our  liquidity  position,  by  executing  on  key  financing  and  capital  raising  initiatives,  all  whilemaintaining a low-risk balance sheet.   
Our balance sheet has a BBB+ investment grade rating, no material maturities over the next five years, anaverage overall debt duration of 10 years, and 80% of our financings are non-recourse to BEP. So far thisyear, we have executed $1.4 billion of financings across the business, and we continued to advance ourgreen  financing  initiatives.  We  further  diversified  our  sources  of  capital  by  issuing  our  inaugural  greenperpetual preferred units for $200 million at 5.25% in the U.S. market, in addition to the approximately C$350 million of ten-year corporate green bonds issued in early April. In aggregate, we will have completed$2.8 billion in green financing initiatives over the last two years.

We also continued to execute our capital recycling strategy of selling mature, de-risked or non-core assetsto lower cost of capital buyers and redeploying the proceeds into higher yielding opportunities. During thequarter, we completed the sale of our solar assets in Thailand that we had acquired through our investmentin TerraForm Global, for proceeds of $94 million ( $29 million net to BEP), allowing us to realize an over 30%return on our original invested capital.
We also have limited exposure to foreign exchange volatility as we employ a disciplined hedging strategywhere we hedge developed market exposure and opportunistically hedge our emerging market exposure,where cost effective. As a result, 25% of our FFO in 2020 is exposed to foreign currency volatility, meaningan overall 10% move in the currencies of markets we operate in (developed or emerging) would have anoverall 2.5% impact to our FFO. Indeed, during the quarter, while we saw a dramatic strengthening of theU.S. dollar versus all the foreign currencies in which we operate, the impact on our business was $9 millionof FFO or less than 4%.
Outlook
We have seen heightened market volatility and unprecedented disruption around the world, but the strategicand operating decisions we have made across our business over the last number of years ensures that weare well positioned to withstand short-term economic impacts, while continuing to allocate capital and buildthe business for the future.  
In light of all of this, we believe Brookfield Renewable represents one of the most compelling opportunitiesfor investors to participate in the substantial, multi-decade effort to decarbonize global electricity grids andmove to cleaner, renewable sources of energy.
As always, we remain focused on delivering on our long-term total return targets. Thank you for your continuedsupport and stay safe.
Sincerely,
Sachin Shah

Well positioned for cash flow growth. We are focused on driving cash flow growth from existing operations, fully fundedby internally generated cash flow, including inflation escalations in our contracts, margin expansion through revenue growthand cost reduction initiatives, and building out our approximately 13,000 MW proprietary development pipeline at premiumreturns. While we do not rely on acquisitions to achieve our growth targets, our business seeks upside through engagementin  mergers  and  acquisitions  on  an  opportunistic  basis. We  employ  a  contrarian  strategy,  and  our  global  scale  and  multi-technology capabilities allow us to rotate capital where it is scarce in order to earn strong risk-adjusted returns. We take adisciplined  approach  to  allocating  capital  into  development  and  acquisitions  with  a  focus  on  downside  protection  andpreservation of capital. In the last five years, we have deployed close to $2.5 billion in equity as we have invested in, acquired,or commissioned approximately 12,700 MW across hydroelectric, wind, solar and storage facilities. Our ability to developand acquire assets is strengthened by our established operating and project development teams across the globe, strategicrelationship with Brookfield, and our liquidity and capitalization profile. We have, in the past, and may continue in the futureto pursue the acquisition or development of assets through arrangements with institutional investors in Brookfield sponsoredor co-sponsored partnerships.
Attractive distribution profile. We pursue a strategy which we expect will provide for highly stable, predictable cash flowsensuring a sustainable distribution yield.

Operations
We delivered Funds From Operations of $217 million or $0.70 on a per unit basis driven by:
Strong operational performance and above average resource
Higher realized prices as we benefited from our commercial and re-contracting initiatives;
Higher margins due to cost-reduction initiatives; and
Unfavorable foreign exchange movement due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar
After deducting non-cash depreciation, net income attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020was $18 million or $0.06 per LP Unit, compared to $43 million or $0.14 per LP Unit in the prior year.
Continued to focus on extending our contract profile as we completed the following:
In Colombia, we contracted 157 GWh/year, including individual contracts with up to ten years in duration
In Brazil, we entered into eight new contracts to deliver 155 GWh/year, including individual contracts with up tothree years in duration 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Further enhanced financial flexibility:
Liquidity position remains robust, with over $3 billion of total available liquidity, no material maturities over thenext five years and a strong investment grade balance sheet (BBB+)
Bolstered  our  liquidity  and  sourced  diverse  funding  levers,  by  executing  on  $1.4  billion  of  investment  gradefinancings and $94 million ($29 million net to Brookfield Renewable) of capital recycling initiatives:
Secured over $920 million from non-recourse financings during the quarter
Issued our inaugural green perpetual preferred units for $200 million at 5.25% in the U.S. market andsubsequent to quarter end, completed the issuance of approximately C$350 million of ten-year corporategreen bonds at approximately 3.5%
Completed the sale of our solar assets in Thailand for total proceeds of $94 million ($29 million net toBrookfield Renewable)
Growth and Development
We recently agreed to merge our subsidiary, Terraform Power, into Brookfield Renewable, on an all stock basis. The mergerwill simplify our structure, diversify our holdings, and strengthen our business in North America and Europe. It will increaseour public float of shares by approximately $1.5 billion and will facilitate the issuance of Brookfield Renewable Corporationshares which should help current shareholders who may prefer to hold a C-Corp share and potentially attract new shareholders.The  transaction  is  subject  to  customary  closing  conditions,  including  the  non-waivable  approval  of  TERP  shareholdersrepresenting a majority of the outstanding shares of TERP Class A common stock not owned by Brookfield Renewable andits affiliates. 
Completed the commissioning of 184 MW of development projects (8 MW wind project in Europe, 170 MW solar projectsin North America, and 6 MW distributed generation solar capacity in China).
Continued to progress our development pipeline:
Continued  to  advance  the  construction  of  831  MW  of  hydroelectric,  wind,  pumped  storage  and  rooftop  solardevelopment projects. These projects are expected to be commissioned between 2020 and 2022 and to generateannualized Funds From Operations net to Brookfield Renewable of $21 million.

Variance Analysis For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
Revenues totaling $792 million represents a decrease of $33 million over the prior year. On a same store, constant currencybasis, revenues increased $20 million, primarily due to higher average realized revenue per MWh which benefited frominflation indexation, re-contracting initiatives and favorable generation mix. Recently acquired and commissioned facilitiescontributed 247 GWh and $17 million to revenues which was more than offset by recently completed asset sales that reducedrevenues by 211 GWh and $29 million to revenues.
The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the prior period, primarily against the Brazilian reais and Colombian peso,reduced revenues by approximately $41 million, which was partially offset by a $30 million favorable foreign exchangeimpact on our operating, interest and depreciation expense for the quarter.
Direct operating costs totaling $261 million represents an increase of $7 million over the prior year due to cost-saving initiativesacross our business and the impact of foreign exchange movements noted above being more than offset by higher powerpurchases in Colombia, which are passed through to our customers, and additional costs due to growth from our recentlyacquired and commissioned facilities.
Management service costs totaling $31 million represents an increase of $10 million over the prior year due to the growth ofour business.
Interest expense totaling $162 million represents a decrease of $11 million over the prior year due to the benefit of recentrefinancing activities that reduced our average cost of borrowing and the foreign exchange movements noted above.
Share of loss from equity-accounted investments totaling $16 million compared to earnings from equity-accounted investmentstotaling $32 million in the prior year represents a decrease of $48 million driven by higher non-cash depreciation expenseand deferred tax expenses, as the prior year benefited from a deferred tax recovery relating to the recognition of operatingloss carryforwards.
Income tax expense of $18 million represents a decrease of $26 million due primarily to a decrease in net income beforeincome taxes due to the above noted items.
Net income attributable to Unitholders totaling $18 million represents a decrease of $25 million over the prior year due tothe above noted items.

Our balance sheet remains strong and reflects the stable nature of the business and our continued growth.
Assets held for sale 
Assets held for sale totaled $190 million as at March 31, 2020 compared to $352 million as at December 31, 2019. The $162million decrease was primarily attributable to the completed sale of our solar portfolio in Thailand during the period. Theremaining assets held for sale at March 31, 2020 correspond to a 33 MW solar project in South Africa and 19 MW of solarprojects in Malaysia.
Property, plant and equipment 
Property, plant and equipment totaled $27.9 billion as at March 31, 2020 compared to $30.7 billion as at December 31, 2019.The $2.8 billion decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of foreign exchange due to the strengthening of the U.S.dollar, which decreased property, plant and equipment by $2.7 billion and depreciation expense associated with property,plant and equipment of $206 million. The decrease was partially offset by the acquisition of 47 MW of operating solar capacityin India, 278 MW of development solar assets in Brazil and our continued investments in the development of our other powergenerating  assets  and  sustaining  capital  expenditures,  which  increased  property,  plant  and  equipment  by  $97  million  inaggregate.
Corporate borrowings 
Corporate  borrowings  totaled  $2.0  billion  as  at  March 31,  2020  compared  to  $2.1  billion  as  at  December 31,  2019. Thedecrease is primarily attributable to the foreign exchange impact of the strengthening United States dollar against the Canadiandollar. 
Subsequent to quarter-end, we completed the issuance of C$350 million ($248 million) of ten-year corporate green bonds atapproximately 3.5%.

North America
Funds  From  Operations  at  our  North American  business  were  $156  million  versus  $152  million  in  the  prior  year  as  webenefited from strong generation, both periods were above long-term average (15% and 17%, respectively), and strong averagerealized  revenue  per  MWh,  which  benefited  from  inflation  indexation  and  generation  mix.  Funds  from  Operations  andgeneration were also impacted by the partial sale of a 25% interest in certain of our Canadian assets ($3 million and 64 GWh).
Net income attributable to Unitholders increased $9 million over the prior year primarily due to the above noted increase toFunds From Operations.
Brazil
Funds From Operations at our Brazilian business were $41 million versus $40 million in the prior year. On a local currencybasis, Funds From Operations increased by 21% due to stronger generation. Average realized prices were in line with prioryear as higher contracted pricing as a result of inflation indexation and re-contracting initiatives was offset by the impact oflower spot prices realized on volumes generated that were above long-term average levels. The increase was partially offsetby the weakening of the Brazilian reais versus the U.S. dollar 
Net income attributable to Unitholders increased $8 million over the prior year driven by the above noted increase in FundsFrom Operations and lower depreciation expense due to the weakening of the Brazilian reais versus the U.S. dollar.

Colombia
Funds From Operations at our Colombian business were $25 million versus $26 million in the prior year. On a local currencybasis, Funds From Operations increased 8% due to our cost-reduction initiatives and a 17% increase in average revenue perMWh as a result of inflation indexation, re-contracting initiatives and favorable market prices realized on our uncontractedvolumes, which were impacted by low system-wide hydrology (69% of  long-term average). The increase was partially offsetby the weakening of the Colombian peso versus the U.S. dollar. 
Net income attributable to Unitholders increased by $3 million over the prior year as the above noted decrease in Funds FromOperations was more than offset by unrealized foreign exchange hedging gains.

Europe
Funds From Operations at our European business were $11 million versus $17 million in the prior year due to the sale of ourNorthern Ireland and Portuguese assets ($4 million and 53 GWh). On a same store basis, Funds From Operations decreasedby $2 million due to a commercial initiative that benefited the prior year and the timing of maintenance activities. 
Net loss attributable to Unitholders was $11 million versus net income $11 million in the prior year primarily due to the abovenoted decrease in Funds From Operations and higher unrealized losses on interest rate hedges.
Brazil
Funds From Operations at our Brazilian business were $1 million versus $2 million in the prior year as a result of lowergeneration and the weakening of the Brazilian reais versus the U.S. dollar.
Net loss attributable to Unitholders of $3 million was consistent with the prior year.
Asia
Funds From Operations at our Asian business were $3 million versus $1 million in the prior year, due to the contributionfrom growth following the acquisition of a 210 MW wind facility in India and a 200 MW wind portfolio in China ($2 millionof Funds From Operations and 56 GWh of generation). On a same store basis, our assets continue to perform in line withplan and consistent with prior year.

CONTRACT PROFILE
We operate the business on a largely contracted basis to provide a high degree of predictability in Funds From Operations.We maintain a long-term view that electricity prices and the demand for electricity from renewable sources will rise due toa growing level of acceptance around climate change, the legislated requirements in some areas to diversify away from fossilfuel based generation and because they are becoming increasingly cost competitive.
In Brazil and Colombia, we also expect power prices will continue to be supported by the need to build new supply over themedium-to-long term to serve growing demand. In these markets, contracting for power is the only current mechanism tobuy and sell power, and therefore we would expect to capture rising prices as we re-contract our power over the medium-term.
The following table sets out our contracts over the next five years for generation output in North America, Europe and certainother countries, assuming long-term average on a proportionate basis. The table excludes Brazil and Colombia, where wewould expect the energy associated with maturing contracts to be re-contracted in the normal course given the construct ofthe respective power markets. In these countries we currently have a contracted profile of approximately 90% and 70%,respectively,  of  the  long-term  average  and  we  would  expect  to  maintain  this  going  forward.  Overall,  our  portfolio  has  aweighted-average remaining contract duration of 14 years on a proportionate basis.

(1)Includes generation of 2,685 GWh for 2020 and 1,284 GWh for 2021 secured under financial contracts.
Weighted-average remaining contract durations on a proportionate basis are 17 years in North America, 13 years in Europe,9 years in Brazil, 3 years in Colombia and 19 years across our remaining jurisdictions.  
In North America, over the next five years, a number of contracts will expire at our hydroelectric facilities. Based on currentmarket prices for energy and ancillary products, we do not foresee a negative impact to cash flows from contracts expiringover the next five years.  
In our Brazilian and Colombian portfolios, we continue to focus on securing long-term contracts while maintaining a certainpercentage of uncontracted generation to mitigate hydrology risk.  
The majority of Brookfield Renewable’s long-term power purchase agreements within our North American and Europeanbusinesses  are  with  investment-grade  rated  or  creditworthy  counterparties.  The  economic  exposure  of  our  contractedgeneration on a proportionate basis is distributed as follows: power authorities (36%), distribution companies (24%), industrialusers (21%) and Brookfield (19%).

PART 5 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 
CAPITALIZATION
A key element of our financing strategy is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of asset-specific, non-recourse borrowingsat our subsidiaries on an investment-grade basis. On a consolidated basis, almost 95% of our debt is either investment graderated or sized to investment grade and approximately 80% of debt is non-recourse. 
The following table summarizes our capitalization:

PART 7 – CRITICAL ESTIMATES, ACCOUNTING POLICIESAND INTERNAL CONTROLS 
CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTINGPOLICIES
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, which require the use ofestimates and judgments in reporting assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. In the judgment of management,none of the estimates outlined in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies in our unaudited interimconsolidated financial statements are considered critical accounting estimates as defined in Canadian National Instrument51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations with the exception of the estimates related to the valuation of property, plantand equipment and the related deferred income tax liabilities. These assumptions include estimates of future electricity prices,discount  rates,  expected  long-term  average  generation,  inflation  rates,  terminal  year  and  operating  and  capital  costs,  theamount, the timing and the income tax rates of future income tax provisions. Estimates also include determination of accruals,purchase price allocations, useful lives, asset valuations, asset impairment testing, deferred tax liabilities, decommissioningretirement obligations and those relevant to the defined benefit pension and non-pension benefit plans. Estimates are basedon  historical  experience,  current  trends  and  various  other  assumptions  that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  thecircumstances. 
In making estimates, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplementedby internal analysis, as required. These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior year andthere are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology orassumptions utilized in this report. These estimates are impacted by, among other things, future power prices, movements ininterest rates, foreign exchange volatility and other factors, some of which are highly uncertain, as described in the “RiskFactors” section in our 2019 Annual Report and the additional risk factors as identified below. The interrelated nature of thesefactors prevents us from quantifying the overall impact of these movements on Brookfield Renewable’s financial statementsin a meaningful way. These sources of estimation uncertainty relate in varying degrees to substantially all asset and liabilityaccount balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Additional risk factors other than as described in the "Risk Factors" section of our 2019 Annual Report are as follows:
Risks Associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic
The rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, which was declared by the World Health Organization to be a pandemic on March11, 2020, and actions taken globally in response to COVID-19, have significantly disrupted international business activities.In addition, our business relies, to a certain extent, on free movement of goods, services, and capital from around the world,which has been significantly restricted as a result of COVID-19. We have implemented a response plan to maintain operationsdespite the outbreak of the virus. However, we may experience direct or indirect impacts from the pandemics, includingdelays in development or construction activities in our business and we have some risk that our contract counterparties couldfail to meet their obligations to us. 
Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, it is difficult to predict how significantthe impact of COVID-19, including any responses to it, will be on the global economy and our business or for how long anydisruptions are likely to continue. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain,rapidly evolving and difficult to predict, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19and additional actions which may be taken to contain COVID-19. Such developments could have an adverse effect on ourassets, liabilities, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Despite these conditions and risks, our business is highly resilient given we are an owner, operator and investor in one of themost critical sectors in the world.  We generate revenues that are predominantly backed by long-term contracts with welldiversified creditworthy counterparties.  The majority of our assets are operated from centralized control centers and ouroperators around the world have implemented contingency plans to ensure operations, maintenance and capital programscontinue with little disruption.  We have a robust balance sheet with strong investment grade rating, over $3 billion of availableliquidity and no material maturities over the next five years.

No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2020, thathave materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We havenot experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We arecontinually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their designand operating effectiveness.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
At the beginning of May, we exercised our option to buy out the lease on our 192 MW hydroelectric facility in Louisiana for$560 million ($420 million net to Brookfield Renewable). The transaction is expected to close in 2020.

PART 8 – PRESENTATION TO STAKEHOLDERS ANDPERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT 
PRESENTATION TO PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS
Equity
Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated equity interests include the non-voting LP Units held by public LP Unitholders andBrookfield, Redeemable/Exchangeable Limited Partnership Units in BRELP, a holding subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable,held by Brookfield, and GP interest in BRELP held by Brookfield. The LP Units and the Redeemable/Exchangeable PartnershipUnits have the same economic attributes in all respects, except that the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units provideBrookfield the right to request that their units be redeemed for cash consideration. In the event that Brookfield exercises thisright, Brookfield Renewable has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with LP Units, rather thancash, on a one-for-one basis. Brookfield, as holder of Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units, participates in earningsand distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP Units. As Brookfield Renewable, at itssole  discretion,  has  the  right  to  settle  the  obligation  with  LP  Units,  the  Redeemable/Exchangeable  Partnership  Units  areclassified under equity, and not as a liability.
Given the exchange feature referenced above, we are presenting LP Units, Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units, andthe GP Interest as separate components of consolidated equity. This presentation does not impact the total income (loss), perunit or share information, or total consolidated equity.
As at the date of this report, Brookfield owns an approximate 60% LP Unit interest, on a fully-exchanged basis, and all generalpartnership interests in Brookfield Renewable, representing a 0.01% interest, while the remaining approximately 40% is heldby the public.
Actual and Long-term Average Generation
For assets acquired, disposed or reaching commercial operation during the year, reported generation is calculated from theacquisition, disposition or commercial operation date and is not annualized. As it relates to Colombia only, generation includesboth  hydroelectric  and  cogeneration  facilities.  “Other”  includes  generation  from  North America  cogeneration  and  Brazilbiomass.
North America hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulationbased on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 30 years. Colombia hydroelectric long-term average isthe expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed overa  period  of  typically  20  years.  Hydroelectric  assets  located  in  Brazil  benefit  from  a  market  framework  which  levelizesgeneration risk across producers. Wind long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results ofsimulated historical wind speed data performed over a period of typically 10 years. Solar long-term average is the expectedaverage level of generation based on the results of a simulation using historical irradiance levels in the locations of our projectsfrom the last 14 to 20 years combined with actual generation data during the operational period.
We compare actual generation levels against the long-term average to highlight the impact of an important factor that affectsthe variability of our business results. In the short-term, we recognize that hydrology, wind and irradiance conditions willvary from one period to the next; over time however, we expect our facilities will continue to produce in line with their long-term averages, which have proven to be reliable indicators of performance.
Our  risk  of  a  generation  shortfall  in  Brazil  continues  to  be  minimized  by  participation  in  a  hydrological  balancing  pooladministered by the government of Brazil. This program mitigates hydrology risk by assuring that all participants receive, atany particular point in time, an assured energy amount, irrespective of the actual volume of energy generated. The programreallocates energy, transferring surplus energy from those who generated an excess to those who generate less than theirassured energy, up to the total generation within the pool. Periodically, low precipitation across the entire country’s systemcould result in a temporary reduction of generation available for sale. During these periods, we expect that a higher proportionof thermal generation would be needed to balance supply and demand in the country, potentially leading to higher overallspot market prices.  
Generation  from  our  North  American  pumped  storage  and  cogeneration  facilities  is  highly  dependent  on  market  priceconditions  rather  than  the  generating  capacity  of  the  facilities.  Our  European  pumped  storage  facility  generates  on  adispatchable basis when required by our contracts for ancillary services. Generation from our biomass facilities is dependent

on the amount of sugar cane harvested in a given year. For these reasons, we do not consider a long-term average for thesefacilities.
Voting Agreements with Affiliates
Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained controlof the entities that own certain renewable power generating facilities in the United States, Brazil, Europe and Asia. BrookfieldRenewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of the Colombian business. Thevoting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevantentities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewableconsolidates the accounts of these entities. 
Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gainedcertain rights in respect of the partnership that controls TerraForm Power and its subsidiaries. This voting agreement providesBrookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of one member of the Board of Directors of the relevant entity,among other things, and therefore provides Brookfield Renewable with significant influence over the partnership that controlsTerraForm Power. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable equity accounts for the partnership that controls TerraForm Power. 
For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Asset Management, the voting agreements entered into do not representbusiness combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield AssetManagement both before and after the transactions were completed. Brookfield Renewable accounts for these transactionsinvolving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting  agreement  financial  information  as  if  the  transactions  had  always  been  in  place.  Refer  to  Note  1(r)(ii)  –   Criticaljudgments in applying accounting policies - Common control transactions  in our December 31, 2019 audited consolidatedfinancial statements for our policy on accounting for transactions under common control.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Segment Information
Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) solar, 4) storage & other (cogeneration and biomass), and 5)corporate – with hydroelectric and wind further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, Brazil, Europe andAsia). This  best  reflects  the  way  in  which  the  CODM  reviews  results,  manages  operations  and  allocates  resources. TheColombia  segment  aggregates  the  financial  results  of  its  hydroelectric  and  cogeneration  facilities.  The  Canada  segmentincludes the financial results of our strategic investment in Transalta Corporation. The corporate segment represents all activityperformed above the individual segments for the business. 
We report our results in accordance with these segments and present prior period segmented information in a consistentmanner. See Note 5 - Segmented information in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
One of our primary business objectives is to generate stable and growing cash flows while minimizing risk for the benefit ofall stakeholders. We monitor our performance in this regard through three key metrics — i) Net Income (Loss), ii) AdjustedEarnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and iii) Funds From Operations.
It is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribedby IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and have limitationsas  analytical  tools. We  provide  additional  information  below  on  how  we  determine Adjusted  EBITDA  and  Funds  FromOperations. We also provide reconciliations to Net income (loss). See “Part 4 – Financial Performance Review on ProportionateInformation – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” and “Part 6 – Selected Quarterly Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures”.
Proportionate Information
Reporting  to  the  CODM  on  the  measures  utilized  to  assess  performance  and  allocate  resources  has  been  provided  on  aproportionate  basis.  Information  on  a  proportionate  basis  reflects  Brookfield  Renewable’s  share  from  facilities  which  itaccounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significantinfluence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder perspective thatthe CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODMalso  believes  that  providing  proportionate  information  helps  investors  understand  the  impacts  of  decisions  made  bymanagement and financial results allocable to Unitholders.
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.Interim ReportMarch 31, 2020
Page 36
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconcilingIFRS data with data presented on a proportionate basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operatingcosts,  interest  expense,  depreciation,  current  and  deferred  income  taxes,  and  other  are  items  that  will  differ  from  resultspresented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings fromequity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, and (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings(loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items.
The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interestpercentage and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses;and
Other companies may calculate proportionate results differently than we do.
Because of these limitations, our proportionate financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitutefor our financial statements as reported under IFRS.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented asequity-accounted  investments  in  its  financial  statements.  The  presentation  of  the  assets  and  liabilities  and  revenues  andexpenses do not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amountsthat are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to suchitems.
Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, information with respect to the MW attributable to Brookfield Renewable’sfacilities, including development assets, is presented on a consolidated basis, including with respect to facilities wherebyBrookfield Renewable either controls or jointly controls the applicable facility.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) is calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Net income (loss) is an important measure of profitability, in particular because it has a standardized meaning under IFRS.The presentation of net income (loss) on an IFRS basis for our business will often lead to the recognition of a loss even thoughthe underlying cash flows generated by the assets are supported by strong margins and stable, long-term power purchaseagreements.  The  primary  reason  for  this  is  that  accounting  rules  require  us  to  recognize  a  significantly  higher  level  ofdepreciation for our assets than we are required to reinvest in the business as sustaining capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze the operating performance of companies.
Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense,income  taxes,  depreciation,  management  service  costs,  non-controlling  interests,  unrealized  gain  or  loss  on  financialinstruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred limited partners and othertypical non-recurring items. Brookfield Renewable adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance.
Brookfield Renewable believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate our financialand operating performance on an allocable basis to Unitholders.
Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit
Funds From Operations is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze net earnings from operations without the effectsof certain volatile items that generally have no current financial impact or items not directly related to the performance ofthe business.
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of the business before the effects of certaincash items (e.g. acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g. deferred incometaxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cashgain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance ofthe  underlying  business.  In  our  unaudited  interim  consolidated  financial  statements  we  use  the  revaluation  approach  inaccordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, whereby depreciation is determined based on a revalued amount,thereby reducing comparability with our peers who do not report under IFRS as issued by the IASB or who do not employ
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.Interim ReportMarch 31, 2020
Page 37
the revaluation approach to measuring property, plant and equipment. We add back deferred income taxes on the basis thatwe do not believe this item reflects the present value of the actual tax obligations that we expect to incur over our long-terminvestment horizon.
Brookfield Renewable believes that analysis and presentation of Funds From Operations on this basis will enhance an investor’sunderstanding of the performance of the business. Funds From Operations per Unit is not a substitute measure of performancefor earnings per share and does not represent amounts available for distribution to LP Unitholders.
Funds From Operations is not intended to be representative of cash provided by operating activities or results of operationsdetermined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, this measure is not used by the CODM to assess Brookfield Renewable’sliquidity.
Proportionate Debt
Proportionate debt is presented based on the proportionate share of borrowings obligations relating to the investments ofBrookfield Renewable in various portfolio businesses. The proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended tobe, presented in accordance with IFRS. Proportionate debt measures are provided because management believes it assistsinvestors  and  analysts  in  estimating  the  overall  performance  and  understanding  the  leverage  pertaining  specifically  toBrookfield Renewable's share of its invested capital in a given investment. When used in conjunction with proportionateAdjusted EBITDA, proportionate debt is expected to provide useful information as to how Brookfield Renewable has financedits businesses at the asset-level. Management believes that the proportionate presentation, when read in conjunction withBrookfield Renewable’ reported results under IFRS, including consolidated debt, provides a more meaningful assessment ofhow the operations of Brookfield Renewable are performing and capital is being managed. The presentation of proportionatedebt has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
Proportionate  debt  amounts  do  not  represent  the  consolidated  obligation  for  debt  underlying  a  consolidatedinvestment. If an individual project does not generate sufficient cash flows to service the entire amount of its debtpayments, management may determine, in their discretion, to pay the shortfall through an equity injection to avoiddefaulting on the obligation. Such a shortfall may not be apparent from or may not equal the difference betweenaggregate  proportionate  Adjusted  EBITDA  for  all  of  the  portfolio  investments  of  Brookfield  Renewable  andaggregate proportionate debt for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable; and
Other companies may calculate proportionate debt differently. 
Because of these limitations, the proportionate financial information of Brookfield Renewable should not be considered inisolation or as a substitute for the financial statements of Brookfield Renewable as reported under IFRS.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
This Interim Report contains references to certain proportionate information, Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations,Funds From Operations per Unit and Proportionate Debt (collectively, “Brookfield Renewable’s Non-IFRS Measures”) whichare  not  generally  accepted  accounting  measures  under  IFRS  and  therefore  may  differ  from  definitions  of  proportionateinformation, Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations,  Funds From Operations per Unit, and Proportionate Debt usedby other entities. In particular, our definition of Funds From Operations may differ from the definition of funds from operationsused by other organizations, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association ofCanada  and  the  National  Association  of  Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts,  Inc.  (“NAREIT”),  in  part  because  the  NAREITdefinition is based on U.S. GAAP, as opposed to IFRS. We believe that Brookfield Renewable’s Non-IFRS Measures are usefulsupplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing our financial performance. Brookfield Renewable’s Non-IFRSMeasures should not be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from,or as a substitute for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures reflecthow we manage our business and, in our opinion, enable the reader to better understand our business.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of compliance
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. 
Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included  in  the  annual  audited  consolidated  financial  statementsprepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International AccountingStandards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be readin  conjunction  with  Brookfield  Renewable’s  December 31,  2019  audited  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  interimconsolidated statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31,2019 audited consolidated financial statements.
The  interim  consolidated  financial  statements  are  unaudited  and  reflect  adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  recurringadjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periodsin accordance with IFRS.
The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative ofresults that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented,unless otherwise noted. 
These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable’sgeneral partner, BRPL, on May 6, 2020.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
References to $, C$, €, R$, COP, INR, and THB are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, Brazilianreais, Colombian pesos, Indian Rupees, and Thai baht, respectively.
All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(b) Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluationof property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recordedbased on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
Consolidation
These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries, whichare the entities over which Brookfield Renewable has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or hasrights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its powerover the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries are shown separately inequity in the interim consolidated statements of financial position.
(c) Recently adopted accounting standards
Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2020, but do not have an impact on the consolidated financialstatements of Brookfield Renewable. Brookfield Renewable has not early adopted any other standards, interpretations oramendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

4.  RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
RISK MANAGEMENT
Brookfield Renewable`s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk,interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Brookfield Renewable uses financial instrumentsprimarily to manage these risks.
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted business across the globe and we are monitoring its impact on our business.  While it isdifficult to predict how significant the impact of COVID-19 will be, our business is highly resilient given we are an owner,operator and investor in one of the most critical sectors in the world and have a robust balance sheet with a strong investmentgrade rating.  We generate revenues that are predominantly backed by long-term contracts with well diversified creditworthycounterparties.  The majority of our assets are operated from centralized control centers and our operators around the worldhave implemented contingency plans to ensure operations, maintenance and capital programs continue with little disruption.
There have been no other material changes in exposure to the risks Brookfield Renewable is exposed to since the December 31,2019 audited consolidated financial statements.
Fair value disclosures
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants at the measurement date.
Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimatedfuture  cash  flows  and  discount  rates.  In  determining  those  assumptions,  management  looks  primarily  to  external  readilyobservable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level
is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Level 1 - inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

5. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Brookfield Renewable’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision makeror “CODM”) review the results of the business, manage operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology.
Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) solar, 4) storage & other (cogeneration and biomass), and 5)corporate – with hydroelectric and wind further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, Brazil, Europe andAsia). This  best  reflects  the  way  in  which  the  CODM  reviews  results,  manages  operations  and  allocates  resources. TheColombia  segment  aggregates  the  financial  results  of  its  hydroelectric  and  cogeneration  facilities.  The  Canada  segmentincludes the financial results of our strategic investment in TransAlta Corporation ("TransAlta"). The corporate segmentrepresents all activity performed above the individual segments for the business.
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionatebasis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for usingconsolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or jointcontrol  over  the  investment,  respectively.  Proportionate  information  provides  a  Unitholder  (holders  of  the  GP  interest,Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, and LP Units) perspective that the CODM considers important when performinginternal  analyses  and  making  strategic  and  operating  decisions.  The  CODM  also  believes  that  providing  proportionateinformation  helps  investors  understand  the  impacts  of  decisions  made  by  management  and  financial  results  allocable  toBrookfield Renewable’s Unitholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconcilingIFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income,direct operating costs, interest expense, depreciation, current and deferred income taxes, and other are items that will differfrom results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earningsfrom equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, and exclude the proportionate share ofearnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented asequity-accounted  investments  in  its  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  presentation  of  the  assets  and  liabilities  andrevenues and expenses does not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financialstatement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claimsor exposures to such items.
Brookfield Renewable reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented informationin a consistent manner.
In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, Brookfield Renewable discloses information about its reportable segmentsbased  upon  the  measures  used  by  the  CODM  in  assessing  performance.  Except  as  it  relates  to  proportionate  financialinformation discussed above, the accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 –Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies. Brookfield Renewable analyzes the performance of its operatingsegments based on revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Funds From Operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operationsare  .  are  not  generally  accepted  accounting  measures  under  IFRS  and  therefore  may  differ  from  definitions  of AdjustedEBITDA and Funds From Operations used by other entities.
Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense,income  taxes,  depreciation,  management  service  costs,  non-controlling  interests,  unrealized  gain  or  loss  on  financialinstruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders and preferredlimited partners and other typical non-recurring items.
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of its operations and is defined as AdjustedEBITDA less management service costs, interest and current income taxes, which is then adjusted for the cash portion ofnon-controlling interests and distributions to preferred shareholders and preferred limited partners.
